A Small Confession
This is wrong. This is wrong for several different reasons. I shouldn't be here. I should have never left the Denali clan, but I could not get her out of my head. I saw her wherever I went, taunting me, luring me in with her sweet scent. Now here I am…in her bed, holding her as she sleeps. The rise and fall of her body as she breathes entrances me. How did this beautiful angel end up in my arms? "I've waited a century for you," I whisper into her ear, "And I would gladly wait a thousand more if I could just hold you like this again". She stirs slightly, whispers my name like a prayer, and quickly resumes her even breathing, even snoring lightly. I smile. I know that life will not always be this perfect, especially considering that she is human, and I, a vampire, but for now, I lay awake perfectly content, with my soul mate in my arms.
